This page is generic installation instructions activated by template transclusion, and looking at the page like this (and not in Edit) won't help you understand it. The parameters expected are:

  • model: MODEL (XO-1 or XO-1.5, case is significant)
  • build: BUILD (which build, e.g. os206)
  • signed: SIGNED (yes or no)
  • release: RELEASE (which release version this build is intended for, e.g. 10.1.2)
  • path: PATH (the path via HTTP to the directory that contains the build file)


How to install
